February 25, 2019 4:01 pm at 4:01 pm in reply to: Yeshivas: maximizing enrollment vs maximizing quality #1685109LOTR92Participant
mistykins got it right. A central location with several tracks, AKA different yeshivos, if you want, in the same building with a shared lunch room, gym, etc. This lets people share the burden of paying for maintenance and rent, or the cost of the building. A load shared is a load halved. This would also allow students to switch, if necessary, to a school or track more suited to him without having to go crazy finding out about the school or students, after all he is already there and knows them. If this can be done with classes of 15-25 it would solve almost anyone’s needs. A school psychologist would be helpful, I don’t understand why they are so frowned upon in Jewish schools.

LOTR92ParticipantLOTR is awesome. (pun intended) In my mind most of the classics are good reading, mainly Jules Verne, H.B. wells, and books like call of the wild, jeckel& Hyde, ect. Kids don’t get all the references in C.S Lewis’s books, I definitely didn’t. As long as the kid doesn’t get fanatical about reading, why not? BTW ask your L.O.R. who knows your situation.
February 18, 2019 1:11 pm at 1:11 pm in reply to: how about sending a simple mishloach manos? #1681369LOTR92ParticipantI’m sorry I wasn’t clear. I meant that people should do what they want with their MM lesheim shamayim, whether it is themed, fancy, simple, or lame. I’m saying themed MM shouldn’t be a social burden, with people worrying more about what other people are doing than the mitzvah itself. What other people send shouldn’t make a difference to what I send. Kids should be shown the mitzvah is important, not what anyone else is doing.
LOTR92Participantin a perfect world banning all guns might work, but it won’t because guns can be gotten illegally. Once someone has a gun and no-one else in the area has a way to stop him\her until the cops come. 5 minutes later. By that time there are quite a few dead people. Banning guns just won’t work. Jail time if found with a gun isn’t that scary. Death by a random armed person at the crime scene would ensure a lower casualty rate, if there is one at all, because of a immediate reaction time, and is much more frightening than anything else. That wouldn’t necessarily stop the problem, but it would majorly slow it down.

February 16, 2019 7:01 pm at 7:01 pm in reply to: how about sending a simple mishloach manos? #1680389LOTR92ParticipantI never understood the problem. If sending fancy themed Mishloach Manos makes people happy, who cares?
It doesn’t make a difference to my MM, and it shouldn’t make a difference to anyone else’s. Why do people see such a big social obligation from what some other people do? I feel people should do what they want, to a extent, and have no shame about it.LOTR92ParticipantI was joking, but I have to say that chessed laugh was incredible.

Yeshivos should teach nach, unfortunately it is majorly undervalued.February 11, 2019 3:29 pm at 3:29 pm in reply to: Is it healthy for yeshiva bochurim to learn from a New Vilna Shas? #1677513LOTR92ParticipantWhat’s wrong with the new vilna shas? It sounds like someone just doesn’t like the word NEW.
New doesn’t mean bad or wrong.LOTR92Participant#negative association
LOTR92Participantbring a gun, a detective special .38 is small and easily concealed, but doesn’t have a lot of stopping power or accuracy. it is still good for personal defense because those two factors don’t matter very much for personal defense.

LOTR92ParticipantReal flight attendant announcements: (I heard this thirdhand, the wording is probably diff.)
If the plane begins to crash, stop screaming, put yourself together, and put the mask on that will be hanging to your right. If you have a person next to you that is acting like a baby, put it on them, then secure your mask. If there are two such people traveling with you, decide now who you like more.February 2, 2019 6:51 pm at 6:51 pm in reply to: Why Won’t My Mother Let Me Get A Shidduch? #1672532LOTR92Participant@daasYochid

January 10, 2019 12:24 pm at 12:24 pm in reply to: Why do people get nervous when they fly? #1660358LOTR92Participantthat would only be in a massive storm. there probably is a bigger margin of error for sailing than flying, small boats can completely flip and recover perfectly fine
LOTR92Participantit is dangerous. if a boat is hit by a gig enough wave, mainly waves taller then the boat is long, the boat will flip[ and instantly lose ship to shore communications. in a storm if the waves are not so big the boat will be pushed downwards, and the deck will fill with water. it’s a problem if the scuppers are not clear
LOTR92Participantsome of what we consider conservative consider themselves MO
LOTR92Participantis there anyway if the wind hits a plane the wrong way the plane will flip, or be “swamped” like a wave going over the stern of a boat.
LOTR92Participantstill awesome argument!

January 8, 2019 1:19 pm at 1:19 pm in reply to: Who else is getting sick of YWN telling us what to think #1658865LOTR92Participantyo unless you are giving money to the site you don’t got a say in the matter. they give free news so they can color it how they want. if you don’t like it, shove off.
LOTR92Participantask your L.O.R.
the idea of a cruise is probably not assur, but there are other problems, like tznius and kashrus.
this is the answer I got when I asked my LOR about a 2 weeks sailing tripJanuary 6, 2019 1:11 pm at 1:11 pm in reply to: Is the MO community concerned with SED? Why the silence? #1657755LOTR92ParticipantI went to a pretty yeshivish school elementary school, in 7-8th grade we had 4-5 hours of secular studies every day, and the MO school in the same area had more. when I went to yeshiva it went down to 2 hours a day then none. the more yeshivish schools definitely need more secular studies if kids can’t pass regents, if they can, the gov is getting their money’s worth.
LOTR92ParticipantLTIMB
do you have entamanns for me???LOTR92ParticipantYo, Wolf, go with cessna172. what he is saying got class. 36 hours is more than double, go for 6-9 hours
LOTR92ParticipantI stand corrected. I am no expert on airplanes, that is good info to know. thanks.
LOTR92ParticipantUnless you are going downwind in a boat, the waves are very dangerous to a boat if the wave is taller than the boat is long. if a boat tries to climb a wave that is too big it will slide to the side, and go “beam-to” flip over sideways by the wave hitting it broadside, and instantly lose ship to shore communications. the only similarity I can see between planes and boats is if you are going downwind, with the storm, and you have to go faster than the waves, so you are not swamped a plane needs to go faster than the wind to keep up airspeed so it won’t stall
LOTR92ParticipantThe reason why when walking back from something always seems shorter is because it is.
when walking back, to wherever you are going, you are going with the earth’s orbit, but when you are going there you are going against it, making your walk 1.745 seconds longer per 6 min. of walking.LOTR92Participant@tgsm
driving to the airport is the most dangerous part of flying because driving is more dangerous than flying.
it’s a popular pilots joke.LOTR92Participantas far as I know about 1500 families. a good percentage is yeshivish/black hat. there are a lot of MO there too
it is a nice mixDecember 30, 2018 6:40 pm at 6:40 pm in reply to: Anyone Else Worried About Today’s Frum Music? #1654049LOTR92ParticipantI think the intent and words matter, the genre, not so much.
music is not bad if it doesn’t inspire, as long as it doesn’t bring people down, who cares, that singer just won’t succeed.LOTR92Participantthe most dangerous part of flying is driving to the airport
